“With due rest, you are being paranoid. He was comforting me in that picture.” Tiffany said.“Yeah. I know, right. He was comforting you. Who knows how he comforts you behind closed doors.” Shawn said, sarcastically.“Shawn!” Mrs Gold yelled.“It's fine, Ma. I will explain.” Tiffany said.“Please, feed us with your lies.” Shawn said.“Keep quiet!” Mrs Gold ordered.“That day in school, I almost had a fatal fall in the school hallway if not for the intervention of a junior student. After analyzing the whole situation, my friends and I concluded that someone actually wanted me to fall that day.” Tiffany began.“Oh, darling. How do you mean?” Mrs Gold asked.“It was not adding up. A junior student came to call me in class that a teacher sent for me. While heading to the teachers staff room, I stepped on some banana peels.”“This is a cock and bull story. Tell us something else.” Shawn interrupted. “Can you just let me finish?” Tiffany asked.“Ignore him and go ahead.” Mrs Gold nudged.“

But then, she was still perturbed that someone took pictures of her and Timothy and sent them to Shawn.Whoever was doing all of this, Knew her and Shawn and wanted them apart. What Tiffany didn't know was why. Why was the person going to that length to create problems for her?Exhausted from racking her brain, she gently fell asleep.TIFFANY'S POVHe stared at her from the rearview mirror as she fell asleep and he couldn't help but admire her pretty features.He felt guilt tug at his chest as he remembered how he had treated her last night.

OSCAR'S POVHe knew she was going to come, so he waited for her.“Hey, you asked that I meet you here. You had better be fast with what you have to say.” She said rudely.“Look here, Miss. I call the shots here and if you want your dirty secret to remain a secret, you have to abide by my rules.” He said, menacingly.“Okay. I'm listening.” She said, reluctantly.“Good. All of these are about Tiffany Dion..”TIFFANY'S POVShe hurriedly left the class without bidding her friends goodbye. She wanted to be home on time so she could prepare for her dinner date with Shawn.“Hey, Tiffany.” She heard her name from behind.“Oh, hey.” She replied cheerfully.“You seem to be in a rush. What's up?” Oscar asked.“Yes. I have something to do at home.” Tiffany replied, still walking.“So, I wanted to tell you something, but since you are in a hurry, I will tell you some other time.” Oscar said.“Wait!

Who knows, I might be of help in my own way.” Tiffany replied.“It's okay then.” Shawn said, returning his eyes to the road.After an hour's drive, they arrived at Rachel's house. Shawn parked the car across the street and they alighted and walked to the gate. Shawn pressed the bell beside the gate and it immediately recognized his fingerprint. A few minutes later, the gate was opened by the security man.“Where is she?” Shawn asked the security.“In her room, Sir.” He replied.Shawn nodded and walked in with Tiffany and they both headed upstairs to Rachel's room.“Come in.” A raspy voice said, when Shawn knocked.
SHAWN'S POVWhat the hell was she talking about? What text message? He has never texted her if he remembers clearly.Maybe she was just pissed and wanted to make trouble.Sighing, he returned his focus to the road.His phone binged almost immediately and a message from Rachel popped up on the screen. “I am sorry for what happened. It won't happen again.” The message read.He sighed and looked away from the phone.MARY'S POVShe walked into the class and went straight for the locker. Looking around to make sure no one was in sight, she used the Master key with her to unlock the locker.Then she took out the ink she hid in her undies and emptied the entire content on the books. Satisfied with havoc the ink had caused, she hurriedly locked the locker and hurried out of the class.TIFFANY'S POVShe had just returned from the cafeteria with her friends and was rushing to take her statistics textbooks and writing materials before heading for her statistics class.She happily unlocked th
TIFFANY'S POVAs soon as the bell rang for recess, Tiffany left with Freya and Timothy for the principal's office.“Come in.” She answered.“ Good day, Ma. You sent for us.” Tiffany said.“Oh yes, I did.” Mrs Campbell said.“Are you in an altercation with anyone in this school? One that the person will stop at no length to harm you?” Mrs Campbell asked.“None that I can remember, Ma.” Tiffany said, shaking her head.“I'm sorry to say this, but the CCTV footage was deleted. I don't know how the person got a hint of our intention, but by the time Derek resumed today, the footage was gone.” Mrs Campbell said.The trio gasped in shock. “How is that possible, Ma?” Timothy asked, confusion evident in his voice.“We suspect the culprit used a master key to access the security room, because there was no sign of forceful entry.” Mrs Campbell said.“This is serious. Are we dealing with a serious killer?” Freya asked, looking scared.“I don't think so, but Tiffany, you have to be careful and if
MRS CAMPBELL'S POVShe had asked Tiffany to see her before going home.“Why I called you is because our school will be competing with Diamond high next week in a spelling bee competition, and you have been chosen to represent us.” Mrs Campbell said.“Wow! This is good news. But the notice is too short.” Tiffany said.“I know. That is why from tomorrow, you will be staying back to practice with other students in preparation. All the materials you need will be ready and so will be the tutor who will be teaching you people.” Mrs Campbell said.“Okay.” Tiffany replied.“If you are okay with it, kindly take this form home, fill it and let your guardian or parents sign in the approval column. For you, I guess your fiance will do the signing.” Mrs Campbell said, smiling sheepishly.“Thank you, Ma.” Tiffany said and picked up the form.“And Tiffany? I trust you will do well.” Mrs Campbell added.“Thank you, Ma.” Tiffany said, and let herself out of the office.SHAWN'S POVThey had just finish
SHAWN'S POV“You startled yourself. I was here by myself when you turned on the light.” Shawn said nonchalantly.“But then, it's your fault because you didn't turn on the light to indicate your presence in the kitchen. And why are you not putting on a shirt?” She finally asked.“My decision. Why are you putting on see through cotton shorts?” Shawn asked.Tiffany's face turned red in embarrassment. She had forgotten her short was transparent. “ I don't have your Time. Kindly pass me a bottle of water since you are close to the fridge.” Tiffany said.Shawn reached into the fridge and pulled out a chilled bottle of water and then handed it to Tiffany.“Thank you, ” She said, opening it.“So, the competition, are loved ones allowed to attend?” Shawn suddenly asked.Tiffany stared at him momentarily before answering “yes.” Was he planning on attending? She thought to herself.“Do you plan on attending?” She asked, to satisfy her curiousity.“No, I don't plan to.” he replied.“Then why di
